Piezoelectric sensors
Abstract
In this chapter we discuss principles, properties, and applications of piezoelectric sensors. A description of the piezoelectric effect is followed by an overview of the most common piezoelectric parameters. Piezoelectric materials are used in force sensors and accelerometers, the subject of the second section. Interface circuits for piezoelectric sensors are treated next, and various specific and original applications, including tactile sensors, are listed in the last section of this chapter.
